U.S. 50 East Shore Tahoe Lane Reductions Near Stateline Begin June 8

Carson City, Nev. – Motorists are advised to leave extra travel time as additional daytime lane reductions and shifts take place the week of June 8 on the U.S. 50 South Lake Tahoe casino corridor as part of a continuing Nevada Department of Transportation highway repaving project.

Since construction began in April, overnight single lane closures have taken place in the state line area.

ADDITIONAL DAYTIME LANE REDUCTIONS/SHIFTS
Beginning June 8 through June 13, drivers will see additional daytime lane reductions and shifts as crews remove the aging roadway surface and place the first round of new highway pavement between the Nevada-California state line and Lake Parkway.

• The additional daytime lane closure will allow for a safer work zone as crews begin reconstruction of the middle lane of the interstate.
• U.S. 50 will remain reduced to one lane in each direction 24-7 beginning at 8 p.m. June 8 through the morning of June 13 between the Nevada-California state line and Lake Parkway.
• Work zone lane closures will routinely shift through the area as crews progress with paving. Motorists are reminded to leave extra travel time and drive attentively and slowly through the changing lane configurations.
• Access to businesses will be continuously maintained, but certain side streets and driveways will temporarily be impacted as roadway excavation takes place in the area.
• Drivers should leave extra travel time to drive through the work zone, and are recommended to detour around the area when possible.
